    Cotto is still more proven but maybe some day Juanma will surpass him.

    isn't Gamboa puerto rican? He may not be the best but I sure like his style.

    Still Cotto.

    I think it's only a matter of time before Juanma surpasses him though.

    Don't sleep on Francisco Palacios.

    I gotta go with Lopez, althought Im abit worried about the clean shots that he was taking in his last fight...I just hope that it was due to him know that the guy couldnt hurt him.

    I personally dont think that Cotto is tough enough, it may just be me, but I think that anytime that he is faced with a fight like the Margo one he will come up short..I hope he proves me wrong cuz I like Cotto.

    Calderon gets overlooked because of his size and unappealing style but IMO he has more skills than the other two.

    My favorite is Cotto though!
